Yes, apart from using tune2fs, you could try a filesystem which does not
suffer from this annoying design fault. Main reason I dumped ext2 in
favour of reiser back in 2.2 days. A journalling filesystem should not
require periodic checks at all, so just turn it off with ext3. It's a
leftover from ext2 days of gone-by and someone forgot to fix the
default.
There are many file systems available for linux namely:-
ext2 - Slow and stolid. The traditional Linux filesystem.
ext3 - ext2 with Journalling stitched on. Used by many. Not
particularly fast
JFS - Present from IBM. pretty good by all accounts, has not
achieved widespread use.
XFS - Present from SGI. Went through a bad patch about 2 years ago.
Able to cope very efficiently with both huge files and many
thousands of files in a directory. Ideal for High
Definition video.
Reiserfs - A good journelling f/s. Fast and stable. Dense data packing,
thus very good for news and mail spools.
Development finished.
Reiser4 - "File system as a database". Seems to be very stable now.
Small tweaks being added from time to time.
Very fast. Extra functions available as plugins.
Very effective checking and repair utility. Never
lost any of my data.
